"Based on Honda's original 'man maximum, machine minimum' concept, the Vision XS-1 fuses together two different values--a sporty exterior styling and amazing spaciousness--in a compact body," Honda says in a statement. "Furthermore, based on the design concept 'Exciting H Design', our human-centered design concept was embodied in this model."

Honda adds that the Vision XS-1 was "designed to represent our creativity in designing compact vehicles whose market is growing all around the world. Although there is no mass-production plan for this model at the moment, we chose to exhibit the world premiere of this model in India, a rapidly growing market where Honda has strong ties."

Well, thanks to India, we can expect to see more small cars in the years to come.
